A few young New York socialites did not put their best foot forward during a recent encounter with rock legend Eric Clapton. According to Page Six, old Slow Hand was hanging out at a lavish club in New York's Chelsea neighborhood when two "model types" asked the icon to help snap a selfie.
Several witnesses on hand said that Clapton was good sport when the pair of ladies approached excitedly and then asked him to take a picture of just them.
"They handed the camera to Eric Clapton and leaned in to pose with his friend," said one witness. Another joked, "They thought the friend was Eric Clapton. They were young and didn't know what [Clapton] looked like but were excited because they thought they knew who he was."
The tabloid says the pair were "squealing with excitement" over the quality of Clapton's mobile phone camera skills.
